As nice as it would be for the players, for City, we only really want AJ and Milner to go (with Joe), Joleon and Micah (and Gaz Baz) can have a nice long rest and come back next season raring to go again... I dont care if others dont appreciate how good Joleon has been this year and Micah seems to be underated by the press in general - we know how good they are...AJ and Milner havent had a stressful seasons on their bodies and its would be a good way to help develop them and maybe increase their sale values...
Correct. I'd be delighted if none of our players (of whatever nationality) were picked by their countries. Yes, I am aware of the whole ''reflected glory'' theory and I also realise that for the players it is a fantastic honour to be picked for your country. But I'd rather they have a decent couple of months rest, re-charge their batteries and come back chomping at the bit for next august. Selfish? Absolutely!
